Pokémon X And Pokémon Y: A Quick Look At Skating, Biking And The Camera

Unconvinced that Pokémon X and Pokémon Y have the most dynamic camera and movement that we’ve seen in the games to date? Check out the four short video clips below that we grabbed from a early portions of the game.

… I haven’t gotten the bike yet, but i’m REALLY impressed with the skates.

… that sudden boost you get when you start off with your skates looks just as fast as the bike and i’ve actually found out how to reset that animation every time it ends in order to maintain that speed.

… from the looks of that driving you were doing with the bike though… I think i’ll stick to the skates as I seemed to have little to no problem cutting corners and dodging sudden obstacles.

Edit: ._. Wow… i’m the first to comment… that’s a first… lol… i’m probably the only person in the world right now that owns a copy of Pokemon X or Y who ISN’T playing it right now.

Have you had a slight glitch where you run as fast as you skate? I find that funny. I get skating speed, but I don’t get the skates on. Also, your not the only one. I got both versions, X with both Grass starters and Y with both Water starters, waiting until I see my friend tomorrow so I can trade and start officially in X with both Fire starters. I do want to play it, though…badly…xD

… WE’VE GOT A LIVE ONE HERE… AND HE’S TRYINA CATCH ‘EM ALL.

… I’M GONNA NEED BACKUP.

… lol. This probably marks the first time I HAVEN’T collected both versions… so I feel a tad bit indifferent with myself right now.

… I haven’t had the run at skate speed problem yet though. Sounds convenient as hell though if you could toggle that too… XD

… i’ve got one question for ya though.

… I got challenged by some random trainer from Japan online and I got ‘Rolled Out’ to death. But that’s beside the question.

… after I went to quit, the game asked me if I wanted to do anything else with this player… so i’m wondering if you can trade with people via online. If so, that saves me the trouble of finding someone locally to trade with.

… i’ve done zero research on this game… that’s the only downside to ignoring a game and having it come out quickly.

At least the way I’m catching ’em all isn’t hacking. I guess you could call it cheating if you wanted to, but I call it playing it smart (and rich xD). Also, about your online issue, I wouldn’t know, sorry.

Linhua

… no worries, friend.

… I wasn’t calling you a cheater of any kind.

… it was actually my plan to do it the same way you were. I Was planning to buy Y for my cousin so that she and I could trade off whenever we have to to hang out. But my wallet fell short. XD

The bike is a lot smoother. And faster. The thing with the videos is that I was filming with one hand and tweaking the circle pad with the other while staring at the camera to make sure it was filming right lol.

Linhua

… well that would explain your running into things. XD

… either way, i’m pleased to see that as the trainer, you’ve got lots of ways to get around, what with all the tricks and shortcuts and all.
